1890 Census Substitute

Amos Ham 1890 Veterans Schedule

There are very very few censuses available for 1890.  That's because, in 1921, there was a fire in the Commerce Department Building, in which most of the population schedules were badly damaged.  Only fragments are available.  The list is found on this website.  

A newspaper photograph captured the scene after a
devastating fire and pointed out the need for safe
storage of national records.

The Hollerith tabulator was used to tabulate the 1890 census—the first time a census was tabulated by machine. The illustration is of a Hollerith tabulator that has been modified for the first 1890 tabulation, the family, or rough, count -- the punched card reader has been removed, replaced by a simple keyboard. See: Truesdell, 1965, The Development of Punched Card Tabulation ..., US GPO, p.61

1897 Historical Insight -- Dr Barnum Brown, Fossil Hunter

Dr. Barnum Brown came from humble beginnings, but his interest in archaeology would lead him to world-renowned success. After his outstanding work as a student at University of Kansas, Dr. Brown was offered a spot on a fossil dig that was operated by the American Museum of Natural History. He was soon hired as a field assistant for the museum, and eventually became the curator over a massive collection of dinosaur fossils that he had found himself. While participating in a dig in Hell Creek, Montana, in 1902, he located “bones of a large Carnivorous Dinosaur. . . .[He had] never seen anything like it from the Cretaceous." Dr. Brown had, in fact, discovered the first skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus rex. Over the next few decades he made several more significant discoveries. Dr. Brown’s work made him a kind of scientific celebrity, and people flocked to see both him and the fossils he had unearthed.
